Almost perfect

Now this is something you don't see every day! Bo Widerbergs style makes this movie almost documentary in a way. That suits this movie since it's based on a true event.The story is about a small town where the workers go out on strike. The conflict between workers and the factory owners and even between the workers themselves. Seems very simple but oh so good! Very good characters and dialogue! See it if you have the chance!9/10 Movie-Man

Important Oscar nominee

Bo Widerberg is a great example of the provice of swedish filmmaking and the richness of this land's filmography- and along with Ingmar Bergman, Jan Troell and Ruben Östlund to mention a few, one of those who has even made it to the Oscars.

This film is of course very important and showcases a well remembered and tragic event in rather recent swedish history, and how police intervention against agressive strikes can be bound for chaos.

The actors all do an incredible job, and conveys this tale beautifully, and Widerberg's characteristic cinematography, cutting and editing is ever present. It is all around very beautifully put together.

Overall, a very important, well written and eye-opening piece that is very much recommended for any lover of film, and for anyone really!
